Rostering Software For Mining Services

Built for the Realities of Mining Operations

From Minprovise to Harmony Gold, Cru Rostering is transforming how mining projects plan, mobilise, and manage their workforce - keeping crews compliant, productive, and connected across every site.

Cru Software delivers Australia’s most intelligent rostering platform - purpose-built for FIFO and DIDO workforces in high-compliance industries.

Designed for large-scale projects, shutdowns, and multi-site operations, it brings together rostering, travel, accommodation, and fatigue management in one platform.

Trusted by companies across Australia and beyond, Cru Rostering helps planners and supervisors make faster, safer, and smarter workforce decisions every day.
